The Honda Odyssey is a minivan with seating for up to eight passengers. It's one of the best choices in the minivan segment, a step ahead of rivals like the Nissan Quest and Kia Sedona--and on par with the Toyota Sienna, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country.

As minivans go, the Odyssey has the best road manners, even though buyers in this niche are generally more concerned with the number of cupholders and video screens than they are road feel and cornering ability. The Odyssey is also known for its low running costs and strong resale value.

Today's Odyssey bears little resemblance to the one that first emerged in Japan in 1994 and launched a year later in the U.S. As Honda's first minivan, it had a cool initial reception here in the States. It was smaller than domestic minivans, and didn't have sliding side doors like those on the Caravan and Town & Country. Still, Honda’s reputation for reliability and strong resale values helped the Odyssey become a household nameplate within its first couple of years of sale.

That first Odyssey rode on a version of the Honda Accord family sedan platform and was built in Japan and exported. The smallish first-generation Odyssey offered only a four-cylinder engine, although the little package was able to carry either six or seven passengers; the middle row could be optioned with either a traditional bench or a pair of captain's chairs.

The Odyssey’s other major calling card was its competitive pricing, although an inflow of cheaper models has seen this advantage eroded significantly. Nowadays, the highly featured Odyssey is one of the more expensive minivans for sale in the U.S., with a starting price in the high $20,000s.

The Odyssey was fully Americanized in its second generation, with production moving to North America as well. The van grew in size for 1999, and its four-cylinder engine was replaced with the corporate 3.5-liter V-6. The second-generation Odyssey offered dual sliding doors, solid handling, and plenty of power.

Honda was on to a winning formula, so for the third generation of the minivan, which was launched as a 2005 model, changes were kept to a minimum. That Odyssey featured a 244-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 with optional cylinder-deactivation technology. The most efficient model returned EPA-rated fuel economy of 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

The new Honda Odyssey

Honda has added a little more design panache to the latest generation of the Odyssey, which was introduced as a 2011 model, along with improved seating plus new connectivity and entertainment features. The most noteworthy detail of the new design is a 'lightning-bolt' beltline--a small drop of the window line just behind the sliding door--which adds a little more window space in back.

Power has carried over, with a 247-hp version of the 3.5-liter V-6, but a new six-speed automatic has been phased in initially for part of the lineup and now for all, boosting some models' gas mileage to 19 mpg city, 28 highway. Variable cylinder management and active noise cancellation makes these vans among the most efficient and refined picks in the real world, too. The Odyssey has earned both IIHS Top Safety Pick status and a top five-star overall rating from the federal government.

The lack of some features on all but the highest-priced models has been a problem with the Odyssey in the past. That was alleviated somewhat with the refresh given to the Odyssey for the 2013 model year, which made a rearview camera and Bluetooth standard equipment.

The 2014 model year brought what could be a minivan innovation to the Odyssey's top Touring Elite trim level. The HondaVac, developed with ShopVac, is a built-in vacuum that is powered by the car's battery and can reach from its spot in the cargo area all the way to the front row. While Honda is only offering it on the top trim level for now, it's likely that it will spread to other models if it proves popular, and it shows that automakers are still looking for ways to make minivans work better for families. Honda also made the six-speed automatic standard across all Odyssey models in 2014. Few noticeable changes were made to the Odyssey for 2015.

The Odyssey can be had with a stunning wide-screen entertainment system, HID headlamps, a blind-spot warning system, and a great 650-watt sound system--as well as, lest you forget, that integrated vacuum system.

Used Honda Odyssey Models

Since 1999, the Honda Odyssey has been one of the three major minivan contenders for families that want space, features, and practicality. It competes with the Toyota Sienna and the Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country. Like them, it has a pair of sliding side doors, a third row, and family-friend features galore. These are big, V-6 powered cruisers, and can be thirsty around town. Note that the 1994-98 model was significantly smaller than later generations.
